About Together

"Stay Together" is a non-album single by Suede, released on 14 February 1994 on Nude Records. It is the last single released while guitarist Bernard Butler was in the band, though subsequent singles from Dog Man Star feature his music. It is tied with "Trash" as the highest charting single the band has released, reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart. The song also charted in Ireland, peaking at no. 18. The single was released in the US on 26 April as a six song EP, and was the first release by the band as The London Suede. The State-side name change was the result of a successful lawsuit brought by Suzanne deBronkart, who had already been performing and recording in the US under the name Suede.

She was standing smoking counting stolen change  
Don't someone have the guts to complain? 
Said "superman  I'm a big fan  
Let's get something straight  
Well you don't have the guts to complain" 
Now your son's coming out to play 
Your son's coming out to play 

When you're on your own 
Standing by the phone 
We should get together 
Got a supermarket stance 
Just taking it hand in hand 
We should get together 
Just think of the life you'll save 
Not stuck in your early grave 
We should get together 

I saw you standing smoking counting stolen change 
But I don't have the guts to complain 
Well I picked you up, got mixed up with you, 
That's OK 
'Cause now I've got the guts to complain 
And now your son's coming out to play 
Your son's coming out to play 

When you're on your own 
Standing by the phone 
We should get together 
Got a supermarket stance 
Just taking it hand-in-hand 
We should get together 
Just think of the life you'll save 
Not stuck in your early grave 
We should get together

However, the band's lush follow-up, Dog Man Star (1994), saw Suede distance themselves from their Britpop peers.
